ICYMI: Wicked is coming even sooner. The first film of the blockbuster Universal two part adaptation will now open one month earlier in theaters.
\nWicked is coming even sooner. The two-part adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical was set to open on Christmas in consecutive years, in 2024 and 2025. This morning it was announced that the first film would open a month earlier, on November 27th, 2024. Jon M. Chu is directing both parts. The film and musical are both based on Gregory Maguire's novel, with the musical setting records on Broadway throughout its run that started in 2003.
The show follows green-skinned star Elphaba from birth to college and through the life-changing events which eventually label her 'wicked,' introducing spoiled rich girl Glinda, local prince and heartthrob Fiyero, and even the Wizard of Oz himself, a troubled man very unlike the one you may remember.
